From the dunghill — From the most sordid place, and mean estate. Inherit — Not only possess it themselves, but transmit it to their posterity. Throne — That is, a glorious throne or kingdom. Pillars — The foundations of the earth, which God created, and upholds, and wherewith he sustains the earth, and all its inhabitants, as a house is supported with pillars; and therefore it is not strange if he disposeth of persons and things therein as he pleaseth.
